U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, and Victoria County Sheriff T. Michael O'Connor want more federal funds for programs that help local law enforcement enforce immigration laws.
According to a press release issued by Farenthold's office, the Department of Homeland Security's 287(g) program received an appropriation of $68 million from 2010- 2013. The program's funding has declined to $24 million in the most recent four years.
